There is a database level schedular called (iirc) pgAgent, which comes bundled
with pgAdmin. I think it's so well hidden because it comes as a part of a
tool which is only used by a small subset of the community. I had hopes that
it might follow autovacuums path and get moved into a contrib module and
possibly integrated into the backend some day, but I haven't seen much push
in that direction.
